VOICED : Indigenas en Mexico y EEUU denunciaran a Trump ante CIDH

The Tohono O'dam tribe plans to file a complaint with the Inter-American Court of Human Rights against the US border wall, which threatens their cultural and familial life. The tribe's territory spans northern Mexico and southern US. International declarations, supported by the US, recognize that indigenous peoples with international borders should not be divided. With Mexican government support, the complaint is expected in April. The tribe, with 30,000 members, freely moves between Sonora, Mexico, and Arizona, US. Their land was divided in 1848 when the current US-Mexico border was established.
